BOISE (Idaho Statesman) When Rep. Lori McCann was appointed to fill a seat vacated by a Lewiston lawmaker accused of sexual assault, she promised the House speaker that she will work tirelessly to bring honor back to the role.

SPR s Doug Nadvornick reports.
Idaho legislative leaders expect to finish their 2021 regular session this week. Today [Monday] is the 113th day. It’s one of the longest sessions in Idaho history.
Legislators were working toward adjourning last week until one event took center stage and slowed things down.
Much of the legislative business over the last half of last week was postponed due to the drama over the political future of Rep. Aaron von Ehlinger. The Lewiston Republican is accused of raping a legislative intern. On Wednesday, he faced a grilling by members of the House Ethics Committee. The intern testified as well. On Thursday, the committee voted to expel von Ehlinger from his seat. A few hours later, on the eve of a debate by the full House, he resigned.
